WYEGW - Technique - 3D Basket

Welcome to

Today the technique we were challenged to use was

to create a 3-D Basket!!

Now I know there is a beautiful easter basket

on the new TBBM2 card, and another

great one on the new Spring Cottage.

But I wanted to challenge myself to create

a basket using some other cartridge.

So I was looking through my booklets

and I found the cute "Nut Cup" on TBBM.

I thought, I can make a basket with that!!

Here is a sneak peek!!

I used several cartridges for this project.

I will show you picutures of all 4 sides, and then

list the cartridges and sizes below.

I used some of the eggs I had left

over form the card I made last week.

Supplies Used:

Tags, Bags, Boxes and More - Nut Cup 11.90"w x 13.20"h

Art Philosophy - Eggs cut at 1.5"

Gypsy Wanderings - Bunny cut at 1.75"

Simply Charmed - Chick cut at 1.75"

Now, on to my project for today.

I have to admit, this project was a total scraplift!!

I lifted this idea straight from page 22 & 23

of the Cricut Quick and Easy Idea book!!

CarrieAnne DeLoach from http://theserendipitousscrapper.blogspot.com/

had the most adorable gift bag with overalls for a little girl.

When I saw the bag I knew I could make the perfect

pair of boy overalls to match the theme of this hop!!

I used a small kraft gift bag, it is only about 8.5" high.

I inked it up with some Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.

I cut the overalls from the Country Life Cartridge.

using Coordinations cardstock,

I stretched them with my gypsy so that they

are 4.6" wide x 11" high.

I ran them through the cuttlebug using this cute

checkered folder.  Then I sanding them a bit.

The red plaid paper is from DCWV

Dots and Stripes paper pack.

I adde some brads for buttons.

The fish and fishing pole were cut

from Just Because Cards at 8.6" high.

The grass was cut from

Martha Stewart All Occasions Cake Art.

This is my favorite grass to use!!

The Gone Fishin sentiment is from Life is a Beach.

I cut it at 3.10" h.  I cut the fish off that was part of the cut.

I hope you enjoyed my projects!!

Would You Ever Guess Wednesday - Textures Wet/Dry

Hello, and welcome to another

Today, the team was challenged with using Wet/Dry Textures

on our projects.  We could use Stickles, Liquid Pearls,

Liquid Applique, Viva Decor Pens, Glossy Accents,

Glimmer Mist.  Basically anything that would give our projects

some beautiful texture!!  I used several different products.

Here is a sneak peak!

For my card today, I used Art Philosophy and

Martha Stewart All Occasion Cake Art cartridges.

I also used Stickles, Liquid Pearls and

Glossy Accents to add texture.

My good friend is having knee replacement surgery next week,

andshe is realy nervous about it.  Since Saturday is

St. Patrick's Day,I decided to make her a good luck

card using my favorite color GREEN!!

I started by making some more of the beautiful flowers

from Art Philosophy.  I cut the flowers at 2.5" & 3" in

white and patterned paper.

For the big flower in the center, I cut it out in white and

then spritzed it with Glimmr Mist in Olive Twist.

For the flower in the left, I also cut it out in white, but

I just inked the edges with a Studio G stamp pad.

The flower on the right was cut from pattern paper.

I added stickles in the edges of the petals in

Lime Green and Diamond.

I put a dot of Liquid Pearls in the center.

Here are some more flowers using the same techniques.

The flowers were adhered to the card base that I cut from

Art Philosophy at 10"w x 7" h.  I added an oval in the middle

because I wanted it to be a window card.

The paper was from a Recollections Christmas Stack.

Once I cut it out, I realized that I was left with and

ugly white oval in the middle!!

So, I took some metallic rub ons I had sitting

in my chalk drawer and applied 3 different colors

with my finger.  I love the way it came out!!!

I then added a ring of Platinum Liquid Pearls on the inside

and the outside of the oval.

The Good Luck sentiment was cut from the 

Martha Stewart All Occasion Cake Art cartridge.

I cut the shadow as well.  I covered the top layer

with Liquid Glass from Close to My Heart
 to give it some shine and gloss!!

I finished it off with some crinkle ribbon. 

I sure hope my friend Pat likes her card.

A lot of love went into it!!!

Here is a picture if the inside

Celebrate the Occasion Birthday Balloons

I am going to make this one in just under the deadline!!  This is a simple card I made for the Celebrate the Occassion - Challenge #31!! This week's theme is "Birthday (must use balloons)"!!!! 

All cuts are from Martha Stewart's All Occassions Cake Art Cartridge.  All the paper was from my scraps and I used a little bling and a little crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot.  The present in the corner was added to hide a mistake!!
